What get_telemetry does on Intellirecon Console
AI agents call get_telemetry to retrieve information from Intellirecon Console without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why get_telemetry is rated Low
This is a read operation that retrieves system telemetry/monitoring data. While it is technically a Read category (no side effects), the severity is elevated to medium because: (1) telemetry data from a security testing platform could reveal operational details about ongoing reconnaissance activities, system configuration, or vulnerabilities in the recon infrastructure itself; (2) in the context of an AI-driven…
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get system telemetry from the IntelliRecon AI server' — a retrieval operation with no modification of data.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs get_telemetry safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Intellirecon Console, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For get_telemetry, this is the rule to start with:
get_telemetry is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Intellirecon Console, apply this rule, and every get_telemetry call is checked against it from then on.

Get system telemetry from the IntelliRecon AI server. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Intellirecon Console MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Intellirecon Console MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_telemetry: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Intellirecon Console. Nothing to install.
get_telemetry is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_telemetry rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
